What's The Ugliest Car Ever Made?
This is a guest post from Just A Guy Thing.This answer was plaguing my mind after I saw the question asked at Jalopnik. There are so many wonderful answers to this question. My area of expertise is certainly my lifetime (30 years), during which period there have been some true automotive abortions out on our roads. This shortlist is by no means exhaustive, but it's not a bad jumping-off point. If you own one of the below cars, I'm sorry. I'm sorry because you suck.
Pontiac Aztec
Not a handsome car. Though it is the official car of Walter White from Breaking Bad, that's probably not going to help get you laid. And if it does, you're probably with a pretty weird chick.
Chrysler PT Cruiser
Not a handsome "whip," as the kids would say. Two styles that shouldn't be married: hot rod and station wagon. Not an awesome combo. Statistically, if you own one of these, there's a 78% chance that you are a humongous dork. It's not certain, but it's pretty likely.
Dodge Nitro
With the low, flat grille, I'm sure the nice folks at Dodge thought that they were putting together a very tough-looking SUV. However, this stance, coupled with the fact that the car is named after an American Gladiator, made the car seem kind of...retarded. It looks a little bit like it might have retard strength. It's weird to think of in a car, but that's what occurs to me. However, that's just in the realm of performance. In the world of aesthetics, it looks...well...retarded as well. Too bad.
Aston Martin Lagonda
It looks like someone took a picture of a Cadillac, tossed it in photoshop, smoked some Angel Dust, then tweaked the design and pushed "print." I somehow doubt that's what the design team was going for.
Toyota Prius
I don't care if it's saving the rainforest. It's a weird-looking ride. Perhaps the most utilitarian design of any car on the road today. It looks like the car of 2011, as designed by someone in 1981. With all that money you're saving on gas, at least put some flames on it or something. A longhorn skull on the front would look sharp too.

I think the Honda Element is pretty bad. It's... a box with wheels. Not so attractive for a car.
No Volkswagen Thing? That was a pretty ugly car.
The Aztec. Hands down. Looks like someone tore out pages from a geometry book and pasted them together.
LOL I was waiting to see if the Prius was on the list. Luckily I do not own any of these but I have got stuck with the PT Cruiser as a rental.
the first 2 are in a tie
The first Scion cars that ever came out were ugly as sin.
Scion; rectangle with wheels.
The Nissan Cube. UGH! Disgusting.
Element, hands down. That thing is hideous.
how is the cube not on this list?????
Why is that Cube one not on here?
@Katja88@xanga - @AznGuppy88@xanga - AGREED. The Nissan Cube and the Scion XB need to be on this list.
I really think the smart car should have made this list...
@sempermedusa@xanga - Every time I see a Smart Car I wonder how ANYONE could feel safe in those things. I'd never buy one.
@himynameisTARYN@xanga - @AznGuppy88@xanga - @Katja88@xanga - @quasarglow@xanga -
The first time I ever saw a Nissan Cube I thought I was in hell. How it didn't make this list, is beyond me.
Funny, when I saw the header, the first thing I thought of was the Aztek. I'm really insanely mad at the car companies for making just about every hybrid car look as amazingly stupid as they can. It's a conspiracy, I say! They're in the oil companies' pockets, you know! All they have to do to prove people want gasoline is to point to low sales of hybrid cars, conveniently omitting the fact that people don't buy them because they look dumb as shit. A conspiracy, I say! Where's my torch and pitchfork...
AMC Pacer (The "mirth mobile" from Wayne's World). 'Nuff said. . . (The related "Gremlin" was just about as bad. . .)
The Prius is actually a really comfortable car. I fit in the front, and three of my tallest friends fit in the back, with my boyfriend driving (he likes the way it handles, and the gas mileage). It's got a lot of room, and lasts longer than my car on gas. And my friend has the PT Cruiser. I make fun of him (we all do), but he doesn't care. He likes it too. I really don't like the Aztec. It's a pretty ugly car. So is the Chevy HHR.
@CoolKidsHaveEatingDisorders@xanga - The Prius is amazing. =) And it has more room than it looks like.
I don't really mind any of the above pictured cars (not that I would ever buy any of them though) except the PT Cruiser. That thing reminds me of a stubby hearse. It's ridiculous.
The one vehicle hubby and I really can't stand is the Honda Element. It's SO FUGLY. Like a box on wheels. We (not so) affectionately refer to it as the Honda Box.
The Pontiac Aztek and BMW X6 tie for the ugliest on my list, and I own an E46 M3...
I agree with the list and might I add a sixth? The montecarlo, simply hicktastically ugly.
Chevrolet is my second car I like it !!!!
purple pt cruisers remind me of sideways eggplants, blech.
So funny.. I asked my boyfriend (who is obsessed with cars) what the ugliest car ever made is, and without hesitation he said Pontiac Aztec.
